ELECTRIC FOOT-WARNER.

To allwhom it may concern:

Be it known that L'MATIHYS C. RAsEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city and county of Denver and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Electric Foot- Warmers; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use. the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the characters of reference marked thereon, which form a art of this specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a simple foot-warming device which consumes a small amount of current and remains warm for a considerable length of time after the current has been turned ofl.

Briefly, the invention comprisesacabinet containing an electric heater, with heat-insulating material between the heater and the cabinet, and a marble slab positioned directly above the heater, to be warmed thereby. a

In t e drawings:

Figure 1 is an isometric perspective.

Fig. 2 is a figure indicated in general by line 2-2 of Fig; 3, the marble slab being removed.

Fig. 3 is a vertical section on line 3-3 of Fig. 2. o he devlce comprlses a cabinet having an outer framework 10, of well-finished wood,- and inner wooden walls 12, lined with some heat-insulating material 14, such as asbestos.

An electric heater 16 is held in the space within the cabinet, and a piece of wire fab ric 18 is secured trrthe upper edges of the walls 12.

A marble slab 20 rests upon said wire,

and upon said walls 12. An electric conductor 22 passes through the cabinet and is connected with the heater 16 b means of a plug 24, the current through t e conductor being controlled by a switch 25. The slab Specification of Letters Patent.

. Application filed March 1, 1920. Serial No. 362,392.

20 is provided with knobs 26, for lifting the same from the cabinet, and the cabinet itself 1s provlded with countersunk swinging handles 28 on the ends, and slides 30 on the bottom.

Themarble slab 2O quickly takes up the heat glven off by the heater 16, and retains the same for a considerable time, so that a mimmum of electric current is required.

The users feet obviously are placed upon said slab between the knobs 26. These knobs 26 are provided in order. that the slab, after be ng heated, may if desired be removed an placed ina bed for the purpose of warming the occupant, which is often re uired in case-of sickness. he device is handy, is a desirable iece of furniture, may be easily moved a out,

and is highly efficient.

' above the heater, and a removable marble slab mounted on the casing above the heater and the screen.

3. A foot warmer comprising a wooden casing, an asbestos lining on the bottom and sides thereof, an electric heater mounted in the cavit within the casing, a screen secured to t e casing above thef lfheater, a removable marble slab mounted upon the casing above the screen, slides on the under side of the casing to support the device and render the same easily movable on the floor, and handles countersunk in the ends of the casing.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
